FedPet

Everybody likes technology, even pets do! We thought it would be great if you could setup a Raspberry Pi to feed a pet at certain times of day, and a controlled amount. Thanks to Tristan Linnell for the idea :) We will use a PicoBorg to control a 6 wire stepper motor, which when driven will rotate a fixed amount for each step (the angle is specific to the stepper). For your pets delight we present FedPet.py, a Python script which watches the time and rotates a stepper when scheduled Here's the code, you can download the FedPet script file as text here Save the text file on your pi as FedPet.py Make the script executable using chmod +x FedPet.py and run using sudo ./FedPet.py You will probably want to change feedSchedule, lines 6-10, to your appropriate feed schedule and amounts.
